Inflated egoes




BALLOON BOYS PARENTS PLEAD GUILTY
(People)

Richard and Mayumi Heene pleaded guilty before a court in Ft. Collins, Colorado to the charges of false  reporting to authorities and attempts to influence a public servant, both regarding the hoax surrounding their son, Falcon "Balloon Boy" Heene. Okay. We get it. Fame hungry family has to fess up to the crimes they so stupidly committed. Is the public still eating it up? For some reason, yes. Personally, I'm pretty sick of the entire ordeal. It's passe -- this is America, I find it hard to believe that by now, the insane lengths people will go to for notoriety are still shocking. We have a financial crisis, a war in Afghanistan, and a seriously undercovered health care debate in Congress. National media, stick to covering what really matters, otherwise you're just full of hot air.
